What is TPL?

The TPL Show

Introduction

• TPL is all about leadership, and leadership is the one core differentiator that exists in every human endeavor.
• You cannot achieve excellence without good leadership.
• In the end, leadership is everything.
• The study and practice of leadership is the key to success for all organizations.
• There are two authority streams, leadership, and management.
• Management is the administrative side of authority, and leadership is the visionary and inspirational side.
• In today’s world, those who have authority over others need to lead more. Since time is finite, they can only do that, if they manage less.
• Middle and frontline leaders do most of the deciding and inspiring. That is just a simple math equation. They are closer to the people and the processes where deciding and inspiring take place.
• The most effective and most affordable way to achieve excellence in any organization is to enable middle and frontline leaders to Think, Plan, and Lead more.
• Some leaders are born, and others are made, but all leaders can become much more effective if they study and practice the art and science of leadership.

So, what is TPL?

• TPL is a dynamic concept that challenges everyone to find ways for middle and frontline leaders to spend more time Thinking, Planning, and Leading – finding more time to TPL.
• TPL reminds us that leadership is thoughtful, it follows a methodology that we can all learn and use, and it requires effective execution.

Why is TPL important?

• When leaders have time to think about the impact they want to have, use a sound method or tool to plan out that impact, and then execute well, the organization gets good leadership, and good leadership leads to excellence.

How do you apply TPL?

1. Executives need to start by clarifying the purpose, vision, and values of the organization, which we at Avanulo call the PVV. They need to make sure the PVV is clear, and well-animated.
2. Executives then need to develop thoughtful leadership principles that support the PVV of the organization.
3. Executives need to develop continuous leadership education that supports the PVV, teaches the organization’s leadership principles, and orients everyone to the concepts of TPL.
4. Executives need to challenge everyone in the organization to reduce the time spent on management duties and use the time saved to TPL.
5. Middle Managers and Frontline leaders need to seek ways to reduce the time they spend on management duties and use the time saved to TPL.
6. Those who find ways to increase their TPL should share those best practices with others, and executives should encourage the sharing of these best practices.
